Ah, so you have caught on to that, have you not? [ He laughs quietly then, shaking his head at his own momentary foolishness. ] Truthfully, more will be required than merely that, but I believe that your request, combined with an argument in favor of such a thing from myself, shall be granted without too much of a delay.
If not, then- [ Here, he pauses and his smile widens. ] Perhaps I shall have to do something I have not done or even considered since my younger days. I am sure that it will cause quite a stir, so it is something of a last resort, but I have no doubts that should it become necessary, it will have been worth it if it means obtaining our goal.
As for young Alphinaud, he does display a remarkable amount of prowess when it comes to navigating this world of politics and maneuvers. I imagine it is not overstating things when I say that he strikes me as a very quick study.
[ He taps one finger against his chin as he mulls this over. ] No, I imagine one location will hardly be sufficient, so I shall create a list and present it to you for your approval.
[ That is strangely ironic, as he is most often the one receiving reports and lists and the like and needing to give his approval of them. ]
Well, it is only one place, but I imagine that it could potentially be to your liking.
[ He may very well be getting ahead of himself here, but he can hardly help it. She is, of course, free to refuse him at any point.
Still, it seems that refusal is not a response he shall be getting from her, if the way that she places his arms about his neck and returns the favor is any indication. For just a moment, he allows his eyes to fall closed as he takes in this moment with her.
Now that this bridge has been crossed, he is finding that he has no interest in letting go. ]
